Site Rules
General Rules
Be Kind
● This seems pretty simple and hopefully it can be. Sadly this no longer seems to be a common sense rule. Please remember that behind every computer screen there is a living person who has real emotions.
Respect Everyone
● No matter who it is whether it be guest or a staff member, everyone has the right to have fun, not to be put down by others.
No Discrimination
● If you’re not mature enough to understand everyone is different and not old enough to respect different religions then do not bother to sign up. This will be not tolerated and if caught you will be banned with absolutely no warning. Remember we all have feels and nobody is the same because we are not robots.
No Sexual Content
● Though this is a human role play the site is still rated PG-13 and not all members appreciate that type of content. Not only that but this is also a rule on Proboards. If anything suggest what they will do and fade out. Anything father will be modified and you will be warned. Multiple offenses to this will result in a week long ban.
Minimal Cussing
● Cussing will be allowed but this does not mean its fully encouraged. Remember that we have members and guest of all ages. Since this is a human role play there is no other forms to cuss. If you are caught swearing exclusively or targeting your curse words towards other members you will be warned. If your behavior continues you will be banned for a week.
Staff
● They’re here to better the site and help the site run smoothly, also to help you. Please respect them. Also don’t ask to become a staff member because we search for the potential in all members. Not only are we here to keep the site going but if you ever feel like you’re being bullied by a fellow forum, do not start a confrontation, PM a staff member and they’ll sort things out.
Fun
● This isn’t a rule you can get in trouble for and basically is just a simple suggestion. Why would you join a site if you’re not having fun? We’re here for you to have fun not to be miserable.
Role Playing Rules
Point of View
● A matter of role-players preference so they can either role-play in first person or third person.
Be Creative
● We don’t want thousands of blond hair, blue eyed people walking around the city. Since they are human beings you do have more leeway than if this was an animal role-play. Though you also have to remember that people are not born with blue hair. The skin color should be natural and please try to limit the wacky hair colors.
Character Biographies
● The character application template can be used exactly or if you want to add your own bio you can, just make sure you still add all the required info from our own bio form.
A) Work in progress bios are the only exception and should have WIP in the title.
Character Limits
● There is none but that does not mean create 25 characters and post with two. Make as many characters that you can handle.
Word Count
● It’s a simple word count to achieve with a bit of detail and maybe a few conversations. Our word count is set at 50 words, this is to prevent from the notorious one liners and requires a member to occasionally think. Though you can go above 50 words which is easier for some members than others.
Modify
● Such a wonderful button that prevents members from double posting! Who would have thought that button actually did something. Please do not double post because you can just modify your mistakes in your old post.
Power Playing
● Power Playing is when you take over someone's character in your post. This is frowned upon because you prevent the other role-player to decided what happens to their character.
